The ‘Universal Emotes’ sound library is the largest collection of human voice reactions and emotions spanning across all ages and sexes.

Ubiquitous Variety

This comprehensive bundle totalizes 8771 files, more than 2850 unique sounds, recorded by 20 actors through more than 40 various actions and emotions.

These sounds are meant to be as ubiquitous as possible, with no speech or actual wordings (only interjections and grunts).

Meticulous edit and embedded metadatas

Each of the 8771 files included are thoroughly edited, named and metatagged, making them easy to retrieve and ready to use!

The meticulous categorization of the emotions follows the work of the professor/psychologist Robert Plutchik on the theory of emotions and its famous wheel helping us to distinguish and classify the variety of human being emotions.

Thanks to “The Audioville” and “Vincent Fliniaux” for their support on the Edit and Metadata.

This library comes with 2 download options included : the simple version 96KHz (1 simple file per sound), and the full version 192 Khz with 2 mics variations (2 files) per sound.

This library delivers 70 recordings, each 5 minutes in length and recorded at 96khz at 5 different universities.

You’ll find find a range of distinctive locations from exterior walkways to interior study spaces, stairwells and many more. Each sound file is contains useful metadata describing the location and distinct sounds present in the recording.

All sounds were recorded using the Sound Devices Mix Pre 6 and a stereo pair of Sennheiser MKH 8020s.

Each of the 11 machines is available as a kit that allows the user to extend its operation time:

Start & Stop file: The first sound file consists of the machine starting until it is running steady for a while, then it is turned off and shuts down.
Loop file: The second sound file is seamlessly loopable and can be used to extend the steady operation of the machine. Just customize it to the desired length and fade it into the middle.

ULTRASONIC CONTENT

Like in other recent sound libraries by The Sound Pack Tree, source material which has been used to create these sounds has been recorded with microphones that can catch ultrasonic frequencies. When pitched down, the machine sounds stay rich in high frequencies.

What others are saying:

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!

A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.

And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
